Animal Stories by David West

Ten wonderful retellings of ancient myths and legends all about animals. These stories are taken from ancient Greek, Roman, African, Indian, Chinese and American cultures.

Myths and ancient civilisations are a core element of the curriculum at KS2 and inclusions in this series, Ten of the Best Myths, of stories from Mayan, Japanese, Indian, Roman, Persian and American cultures - an many others - will both fascinate and educate young readers.
